Congratulation! This is awesome! Now lets try to build a 300 way headdown favaks

We actually landed on the moon? OOPS!

We should all get together and have a sparring match some time favaks

I weight 140 naked. My exit weight is about 170. I own a Fox VTEC 245, so I'm loading it at .7. Since this is the "ideal" wingloading according to BR, should I attempt to customize it further? Maybe this is a question for BR. Still, is this the "ideal" brake setting for slider up or off? I guess the best way to find out is try it out myself. The ultimate question is, with VTEC, is there a way to set the brakes so that there is minimal or no back surge, relative to non-VTEC. If there is none, then the penalty for jumping VTEC is with very deep brake setting, you'll get a back surge, and with shallow settings, you get a forward surge. The best one can do is compromise? All of a sudden VTEC just doesn't sound very appealing anymore. I'm not very familiar with the effect of tail/head wind. I only jump when there is little or no wind, so far. Thanks, favaks

Dude, you need to make a jump.

If this is the case, what they're doing is just "WRONG". When I got my Fox VTEC, I was told the manufacturer DBS is customized optimally for the given wingloading and canopy size. Because of this, I didn't customize my own DBS. I guess I have been living on borrowed time. How much of a forward and backward surge are we talking about here? Are these proven phenomenons or just mere speculations? Where do you recommend i sew additional settings from the current one? I'm thinking of 2 additional ones. one is 3 inches below, and the other is 5 inches below the factory installed one. What do you think? I'm so pissed! favaks

Is there a big difference between a 0.6x and a 0.5x? I'm going to be using it for general freeflying. thanx, favaks

The trv18 is alot cheaper than the trv25 or trv17. Is there a problem with this camcorder, because it's never been mentioned at all. I'll be doing tandem video, freeflying, and firewiring videos from others. That's about it. favaks

Hopefully I do not biff Tomorrow when I do my first cliff

Hey Brit, I believe we've met. I was packing with my buddy at the Comfort Inn, when you and your bf came over and said hi. We're the guys from Seattle. It's a beautiful bridge. I made 2 jumps and was at the base of the ladder getting ready to do my 3rd when time ran out. I'll make it up at the Perrine this weekend

Most definitely the SAPS suit. People recognize you wherever you go, just like me favaks

Andrew, Are you coming this year along with other Canadians? Have you heard from Tee lately? favaks

Jumps are $13 this year? Last year it was $16 something. favaks

I'm going to Bridge Day, but I'll be stopping by Orange the week before. I was planning on staying from Saturday to Wednesday, but I just found out that you guys only jump on the weekends. What's there to do in Virginia on Monday and Tuesday? Can I sleep in the hangar over the weekend or can I stay at somebody's place? favaks

As long as you desire, you'll sufer! There is no "I". It's just an illusion.

I wish I can join you guys but i'm on the West coast. However, I'll be stopping by from Oct. 11 to Oct. 15. Will there be much jumping by then? favaks

I wonder how much a jump will cost when skydiving is regulated -favaks

I'll be there

You don't understand the nature of Atheism at all. There are two types, weak and strong atheism. A weak atheist has NO believe in god. This does not imply believing or not believing. A strong atheist believes that there is no god, because there is no sufficient evidence. The burden of proof is on the believers. favaks

So what kind of discussion did you have with the Buddhists?

Look at all the diseases, deaths, destructions, and sufferings in the world. Did he create this too? favaks

what's the best way to slide left and right in the X position? thanx, favaks

I'm sitting here at work bored, so I'll chime in and hopefully get some flames--yeah I'm that bored! Is there a higher power? Don't know and don't care! If there is and It's as cool as some of you described, I have nothing to fear. I live a moral life, just because it's the right thing to do. A love that is commanded is not true love. If there is and It's not as cool as some of you described, then we're all screwed no matter what we do. About praying. It hasn't worked for thousands of years and it will never work. What would the world be like if praying actually works. hmmmm! Let's pray for world peace, no disease, and no hunger. Let's pray that everybody lives in harmony. Let's pray for our soldiers to be alive and victorious. Let's pray that my team can beat yours. Let's pray for our children so they can do well in school, and better than yours. Praying is friggin overrated. Get out there and do something about it and make a difference. I used to church with my friends and met this very nice girl. Got to know her very well and one day I saw her standing there, eyes closed, praying, and totally giving herself to Him. What a big turn off. Appreciate me for who I am, not because He let her meet such a nice man, so she thought. I don't post much, but everytime I do I get flamed.

I had a kick ass time at Kamloops. Awesome, awesome, awesome boogie. I've been to quite a few boogies, and this one is definitely second on my list--Lost Prairie is still the best
